Royal Intermarriages and European War Risks
A lengthy column discusses dynastic marriages among European royals and their impact on politics and warfare. It notes Germany’s potential marriage of a princess to Prince Alexander of Bateneberg, Bismarck’s opposition, and the historical pattern of in-law alliances shaping or straining relations between nations, including examples from Napoleon, Victoria's family, and modern monarchies. The piece contrasts the benefits and perils of such unions, highlighting morganatic marriages and the lingering interconnectedness of royal bloodlines. It also touches on affectionate unions sometimes aligning politics with personal ties, and concludes that dynastic links do not guarantee peace.
